Shining stars

Ooh the joy of witnessing beauty unfold out of ashes! The Love of God is transforming young lives from a state of despair to a rich and purposeful life.

At FALCO we release children and youth to discover their passion and pursue their purpose in life.

Some of our supported children are passionate about music and are involved in their church choirs. Justine cyimpaye, Miriam cyimpaye, Jovia kamahoro, Jackyline Dusabimana and Devota uwingabire are such an example as seen in this picture. 

 

Meanwhile our children are now doing end of term exams and will be closing the first academic term in the first week of May.

 

A HAPPY EASTER FROM ALL OF US TO YOU OUR SPONSORS AND FRIENDS!

 

 

 

CHANGING THE STORY OF A FAMILY

One of the families that we first encountered at the beginning of our program is the family of GATO JACKYLINE. She was out of school and most of her 7 siblings were not in school and were living a miserable life. A lot has changed now. We support 3 children in this family to study, have contributed to the renovation of their house which is old and had started getting cracks, and now we have supported them to grow crops at their small back yard garden. Weve also supported Gato to join boarding school because she had failed to concentrate because of the hostile conditions at home.

Unfortunately Gato lost her dad last year and that worsened the poverty but her mother is doing her best to work and get them basic recquirements.

However, there is still work to do. As seen in the photo, we found the younger brother crushing stones in the evening to make some extra money. That is very risky work for a child his age. We counseled him and we believe it will help.
Here is Gato's small garden before and a few weeks after planting.
